Gleevec and Xarelto drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) and Xarelto (rivaroxaban). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and gastrointestinal haemorrhage among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gleevec and Xarelto. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 80 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
